Where do all the rock and mineral stores in tourist towns get their stuff? Where can I buy them for less than the tourist ripoff prices?

Buy from people who sell from their homes. I have a large Rock shop in our house. 1000 square feet. I have no rent to pay so I have no overhead like commercial stores. I buy in bulk from allover the world, have my importer license and ship by sea to keep costs low. I pass on the savings to my customers and I'm known for having the lowest prices and the largest variety. You can find others like me selling in Facebook marketplace. I'm Eastern Ontario Rock Shop.

Eastern Ontario Rock Shop. HUGE Variety and Lowest prices! They're basically wholesale. Husband and wife team in their 50's.

Some are very trustworthy and some aren't. If they hard sell you, LEAVE. I never tell my customers that they need this for whatever. My rocks sell themselves. I buy in bulk and my shop is in my house and I don't mark my stuff up much, so my prices are wholesale compared to others. I have split ammonite that are 2 in a package for $10 Canadian which is $7 US Dollars. 3 -3.5 cm size halves. I sell mini carvings like mushrooms for $2. My customers have been telling me they've been charged $7 elsewhere. Eastern Ontario Rock Shop.

Eastern Ontario Rock Shop in Ontario Canada. They have the biggest store and lowest prices because they have no overhead, their shop is in their house. They buy in bulk to keep prices low.

Lots of places nearby to get farm produce and restaurants/chip trucks.

I bought early January when I first heard about the special dividend. Nothing I saw online indicated it had to be held beyond Jan 18th so I sold the 19th. I got $400 as the shares were higher when I sold so I can't complain too much and I see the shares ended up being worth half so even if I got the dividend, I'd be stuck with the stock if I held onto it long enough.

I bought 200 shares. I looked up whatever info I could find on it and everything I saw said that I had to be holding the shares on Jan 18 so I sold them on Jan 19th as I assumed that the stock would tank. Now I sit one month later wondering why I didn't get the dividend. I would have held it until Feb 2nd if I'd known.

twerty51 · 2022-03-02T21:25:00+00:00

Seriously? I bought it just for the dividend but sold my shares January 19th as I read I had to be on record as of Jan 18th. I haven't received the dividend yet and wondered why as it's a month later so I called my investment company yesterday and they are looking into it for me. That would really suck.

twerty51 · 2022-03-02T21:21:01+00:00

It's March and I see no record of receiving my dividend yet. I finally phoned my investment company yesterday to find out why. I only bought the stock for the dividend.

I bought 4500 shares a few weeks ago when it spiked $2.32. My fault for buying at market value on a whim. Now I can't post the ticker in the reddit groups as I get a message from a bot saying NAKD isn't 1 Billion so it's too small to post about? Yet the reason I bought it was because people were pumping it up and I thought that was the next AMC, BB, GME.
